真相有那么重要吗？

——对《Darkside》（BYAlan Walker , Au/Ra, Tomine Harket）的理解

如果读了二十世纪英国作家、意识流文学代表人物弗吉尼亚·伍尔芙在《Street Hanuting: A London Adventure》"At any moment, the sleeping army may stir itself and wake in us a thousand violins and trumpets in response; the army of human beings may rouse itself and assert all its oddities and sufferings and sordidities. Let us dally a little longer, be content still with suface only..."，再来看艾兰·沃克（Alan Walker）的《Darkside》的歌词：Darkside Lyrics (https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/35855210/Alan+Walker/Darkside)。也许就容易理解一点了。

歌名“Dark side”意为“the  portion  of  the  Earth  or  other  planetary  body,  characterized  by  darkness  that  faces  away  and  opposite  to  the  direction  of  sunlight/starlight  defined  by  the terminator line.”显然，歌词中的Darkside有象征意义。整个歌词或可理解为作者对光明和真相的逆反。来重点看这几句：“Don't wait for truth/To come and blind us/Let's just believe their lies/Believe it, I see it/I know that you can feel it/No secrets worth keeping/So fool me like I'm dreaming”既然谎言比真相，黑暗比光明，睡梦比清醒更加温馨、舒服，宁愿活在谎言、黑暗和睡梦之中。

唐代白居易的《放言五首·其三》：“赠君一法决狐疑，不用钻龟与祝蓍。试玉要烧三日满，辨材须待七年期。周公恐惧流言日，王莽谦恭未篡时。向使当初身便死，一生真伪复谁知？”辨别真相需要时间，何不享受当下的谎言？尤其在爱情之中，真相有那么重要吗？我宁愿你一直骗我、愚弄我。
